Story progression mod has a feature that lets your kids have the summer off.I believe it requires the base mod plus an add on but I can’t remember which add on.When I get home I will loo.
It's the NRaas SP Careers add-on module that allows for summer vacations if Seasons is in play. I also play very long seasons/life spans and agree that it's too much of a grind especially for teens without some serious time off now and then. But instead of giving them an entire summer off, I set it so that during that season schools are only open on Mondays and Tuesdays (or something like that, in some worlds I settle for four-day weekends). Teens with part time jobs of course still have to report for work even on days when school is not in session.
Then while rotating through some households that have no children/teens or who are all homeschooled, I suddenly cannot understand why no one in town is even going to school by 9 am and start yelling at the game, "Okay, what's wrong NOW?" Thus it's easy to become a victim of one's own cleverness (or again, something like that). :)
If what you want to do is give everyone an unexpected or otherwise unscheduled, not recurring day or a few days off from school, that can be done at any time with MasterController. On City Hall or an in-game computer, NRaas > MC > Sim > Intermediate > Career > Days Off: School > "X" to dismiss the filter, select everyone (should be all of the school-aged children and teens who show up), and select the number of days to give them all off of school with no penalties applied to their school performance. Doesn't have to be summertime to do it that way, and then one can arrange for one's own winter or spring breaks. (MC Cheats add-on module required)
For every question there is a nraas mod, it seems, haha! ;)
I've not dared try the SP mod yet. Will there be any active settings on it if I install it? I would prefer things to be as is if I installed it, and rather add things later if I'd need or the game is getting stagnant. Same with the career add-on. Will there be any immediate changes in the game?
Mon-Tues school during summer sounds lovely tbh!
